Return a list

I have several output variables which I give back with the list command.
test <- function {return(list(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,...))}
After the usage of the function I want to assign the variables to the output variables.
result <- test()
a <- result$a
b <- result$b
c <- result$c
d <- result$d
...
is there a more elegant way to assign these variables, without writing them all down?
thank you very much for your help!
I don't have a good answer for your question, but I do encourage you to choose a method that will be readily intelligible to you when you revisit your code X years later.
